Chapter 7: In His Arms.…

Hermione stops crying and went outside…

-!-

That night, Hermione never stopped crying. Harry kept breaking things in his room. Every time she hears a sound from his room, Hermione sobbed harder.

That morning was no different. Her eyes were red from crying so she didn't make breakfast. Harry dressed quickly and gets ready to go to work.

"Harry," she said softly. "Where are you going?"

"Work." Harry slammed the door.

Hermione kept crying. Then, she decided to go out as well. She cleaned herself and got dressed to go outside. She wore sunglasses so that no one would see her red eyes.

She passed by the part of the park where most couples go out for a date. She felt a tear drop from her eyes. Then, someone touched her shoulder.

"Hermione…" A familiar voice said.

"Harry?" Hermione asked. Hermione faced the person. It was Draco.

"It's me, Hermione." Draco said. "Is there anything wrong?"

Hermione shook her head. "No… Nothing's wrong. I'm perfectly fine."

Draco answered. "You're no good at lying, Mi." Draco removed her sunglasses. He saw her red eyes. "What did Harry do now?"

"He didn't do anything."

Draco wasn't satisfied with Hermione's answer. "Remember what I said five years ago?"

"If he was the one who made you cry, he's gonna pay a big price."

Hermione nodded. "Draco, I'll ask you not to do anything to Harry. It's entirely my fault that I was crying like this."

Draco answered, "How about we sit down first?" Hermione nodded.

They sat on the empty bench near the playground. Hermione related the events last night to Draco.

"I see." Draco said. "I'm so sorry, Mi."

"I should be the one who's sorry." Hermione said. "I shouldn't have gone to your place for the fact that my house is just near here."

"Won't Harry let you go?"

"He did."

"Why won't you go?" Draco asked. "You could finally stay with me."

"It's because I'm afraid he might do something foolish."

"You love him don't you?"

Hermione nodded. "All those five years thought me how to love him but…" She paused and looked into Draco's eyes. "I love you more."

Draco hugged Hermione. "I love you very much, Mi. When he finally lets you go, stay with me forever."

Hermione didn't answer. She felt relaxed now that she's in the arms of the man she truly loves.

Author's Notes: Argh! I'm experiencing writer's block. This chapter is too short…I promise to make chapter 8 longer. I intend to. Please review.
